OVERVIEW
A mom's best friend as soon as baby is born, the diaper bag is a utilitarian wonder. Made to carry everything a baby could ever need * most with room for mom's stuff too! * diaper bags now come in a variety of styles with hip, colorful fabrics and fabulous features.
The type of diaper bag you choose depends on how you plan to use it. If you take weekend  trips or are frequently gone from the house all day, if you have more than one child to pack for or just like to know you have any and everything in case of emergency, choose a roomy duffel or tote-style diaper bag. If you prefer to travel light, there are many mini bags available, some attractive enough to pass for purses. Like to have your hands free? Backpack diaper bags are very popular (especially if you want dad to carry it!) as are the new messenger bags and slings. Whichever bag you choose, make sure you find the strap and the way the bag is to be carried comfortable.
Diaper bag features include bottle pockets and bottle insulators, multi-pocket organizers, key clips, cell phone holders and changing pads.
Price is another important determining factor in choosing a diaper bag. While most diaper bags fall in the $40 - $65 range, there are wonderful bags for under $30 and luxe leather totes for over $300. On a budget? No worries! The underlying design of diaper bags is the same: they carry stuff… like diapers. Designer diaper bags aren't really more costly because of additional features but because of more expensive materials and the cache of carrying a designer bag. Have the spare cash? You and your diaper bag look marvelous!
